MABUHAY!

Welcome to Kaliwa—the newest restaurant on the Wharf in Washington DC, takes you on a Southeast Asian culinary journey filled with funk and fire. Inspired by the cuisines of the Philippines, Korea, and Thailand, award-winning chef, Cathal Armstrong celebrates cultural pride, vibrant flavors and the casual intimacy of an Asian night market.

If you cannot make a trip to Thailand, or the Philippines just isn’t in this year’s budget, you’re in for a treat. A dinner at Kaliwa, tucked inside the District Wharf, is not just a consolation prize. It’s a true feast, about as delicious as can be imagined outside of a journey across the world. Chef Cathal Armstrong’s authentic and delicious Korean, Filipino or Thai cooking is blessed with serious flavor. 
